i got used to use beats (especially filebeat ) to collect logs from linux machines and send them to logstash where i do parsing and filtering ..  
there is a while since i have heard about rsyslog and i tried it and it's doing the same job  
i wanted to know if anyone have an idea if is there really a big difference in terms of performance ? when the log data flow and speed grow exponentially ?
